Aight. We seem to have found the culprit. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.|
I mean why would it say a stable image has a testing id and bootloader if its not testing
I’m not familiar with the Bazzite Update Tool. I tried to find it on GitHub, but failed 😅. But, if I’d have to guess, it looks at the same wrong place that fastfetch does.
A couple of issue trackers I found that may (or may not be) related:
Question: Could you paste the output of rpm-ostree status?
Yo OP, in case you couldn’t get GPU passthrough to work; vm-curator makes that a piece of cake, somehow even with a single GPU.
You’re right on malware finding its way onto the Snap Store. I find it hilarious to see that the employed tactics are basically identical 😜.
However, FYI, the hate on Snaps is a lot more broad than that.
OP, got some specs? It will make it easier for us to give good suggestions. Thanks in advance!
It has been my pleasure 😊.
Aight. Understood. Thank you!
In your case, I’d propose something like NixOS then. As your full system configuration can be contained within a (set of) config file(s), the very same ones you use to install/config stuff, a reinstall just becomes very easy. Heck, if you’re willing to embrace the “Erase your darlings”-lifestyle, then I don’t even think you’d ever feel the need for a reinstall. Because, frankly, the clean slate is just a reboot away.
EDIT: Perhaps Guix System is also worth considering as an alternative to NixOS*.
EDIT2: If you still want to explore other distros, then it’s worth noting that nix, i.e. NixOS’ package manager, is available on most distros and offers a lot of the benefits already. Like, you could configure your system using it, and then use that config on another distro to get your config back. Good stuff.
I frequently reinstall Linux.
Like, how many times in a year? And secondly, for what reason?
Could you please explain a little more on what X11 and wayland are?
Not the one you asked*.
But, to put it simply, there’s a piece/suite of software that’s actually responsible for displaying stuff. Even your Desktop Environment is contingent upon it. X11 and Wayland are the two most popular ‘options’ for that and (to be frank) the ones that are ‘actually’ in use. The former is the OG and was for the longest time pretty much your only option. But the latter has come a long way and is a superior option for most.
In the context of Cinnamon, its Wayland implementation is still relatively immature. Heck, only with its next release will it become non-experimental. But, even then, it is possible that switching will make a difference here.
How can I find out the information you are looking for?
Invoke echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE within a terminal. It will return whichever you’re on.
OP, FYI: GPU passthrough isn’t riskless (OpSec-wise), unfortunately. This Hacker News thread contains pointers if you’d wish to read up on that.
I don’t agree with the sentiment that Linux Mint is underrated either. As you note, it is quite popular and is mentioned a lot in the discourse.
However, I don’t think that CachyOS and Linux Mint are the most popular distros; that undoubtedly goes to Ubuntu. And, if anything, I’d think that Linux Mint is more popular than CachyOS.
Yet, if we’d limit it to the distros used by gamers, then CachyOS probably does take the crown for most used distro (aside from SteamOS). At least, there are metrics that suggest as such.
